Housing Minister Rushanara Ali resigns from building safety role over Grenfell Tower conference sponsorship.

Housing Minister Rushanara Ali has stepped down from her building safety duties after complaints from Grenfell Tower survivors regarding her attendance at a conference sponsored by a criticized firm. The company, Saint-Gobain, was linked to the flammable insulation used in the tragic 2017 fire that killed 72 people. Ali will continue to serve in the housing department, focusing on homelessness and rough sleeping.
